Tips:

  • To make sure your lemon bars are perfectly set, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, and even overnight if possible.
  • For a classic lemon bar, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. If you don't have any on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as bright.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 13x9 inch pan, but you will need to adjust the baking time. Bake the bars for about 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  • If you like your lemon bars extra tangy, you can add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the filling. Just be sure to grate the zest finely so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors.
  • Want your lemon bars to have an extra crunch? Before baking, sprinkle a mixture of 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup sugar over the top.
  • To make gluten-free lemon bars, use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour. Just be sure to check the label to make sure that the flour blend you are using is certified gluten-free.

Conclusion:

Lemon bars are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect lemon bars every time.
